New to Ham Radio?

There's a lot to learn in amateur radio. Sometimes it can seem pretty overwhelming. Luckily, there are lots of people who would like to help you. Amateur radio has a tradition of "Elmers" - people who are willing to share their skills and experience with others.

I don't yet have an amateur radio license

You will need an amateur radio license to transmit. You don't need one to listen! You can listen to hams on scanners and short wave radios. On scanners, try 145.0 - 148.0 MHz FM. On short wave radios, listen around 14.150 - 14.350 in upper sideband or "USB" mode, if your radio supports it.
